On Compliments

(...)
If a compliment never arrives in bad hour, is of its departure that I dare to complain. It is not that a compliment had to remain stanches, property, in the shelf of our vanities, soon to be used and I coat all the times that we need one I fondle or a certain declaration that in stimulates them again - without let us have to move a muscle at least - to give continuity to our steps. The case is that the compliment - this is my diffidence - has as principle the necessity of being ephemeral. In the truth, it is of the instant that if valley the compliment. Of one instant sublime, next the congenialidade - when two geniuses (or two hearts) if hug and if they interlace, if recognizes and if they raise -, is truth. Despite if it praises the set of a workmanship, or the history of a life, it is impressive as the compliment more seems a trigger that, not more than suddenly, goes off a word that adjective the substance or that discloses tonalities (before) occult of the image. However, the adjectives perish and are the things. They discolour the colors and they remain the images (or, the the least, the souvenir of the images). Things, inert that they are; words, impersonal that they are; acts and lives, unexpected that they reveal - to everything can be praised, since that if it does not wait the permanence (of the compliment). Of what! live then the things, the words and the events? What much me seems, it is not of compliments.
They would be thus, in contrary way, the debauch, the irony, the disdain - the critical one (in its more usual direction), at last - ways of presentation of a perennial comment?
It would be of the critical one - and not of the compliment - what would come the forces so that the things follow? It is of the attrition that if makes walking…
Ridicule can sound - and the intention is accurately this -, but one of the synonymous ones “to praise” is “to brag”, word that Scandinavians come of the old languages (gabb) with the meaning of “escárnio”: that it is, then, a gozação, an irony, a sarcasm… Where it was that this “tone” was lost that came next to the melody of the compliments?
In all way, it has words that they must be written in the sand of the beach, to the step that others must be sculptured in the rock. It has last ones that, said the wind, we prefer that soon they are led even so. What if it would not have to want is “to prevent the words”. I do not make option for “words not said”, for the “gold silence”. Taste of the silver and I am pleased with it. That they come words…
